Belgian Flemish Stew or Carbonnade Flamande is outrageously delicious. It’s made with a combination of beef, malt beer, caramelized onions, garlic, sugar, vinegar, and seasoning. After being fried and pressure cooked, the taste of this beef and beer stew is something friends and family will talk about for ages. Serve it up with fries and a veggie side dish and everybody will be back for seconds. The stew is a crowd pleaser and, believe me, something you will make time after time.
